Bible Study – Luke 10

S – All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Luke 10:22 ESV

O – Commentary:

Jewish texts did speak of unique mediators of revelation (e.g., Moses), but in this period the role here ascribed to the Son as the sole revealer of the Father and as the content of the Father’s revelation is held in Jewish texts only by Wisdom, personified as a divine power second only to God.

A – There is a special relationship between God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus as a human.  It gives us a blueprint for us to follow.  Honor God, Be like Jesus and Invite the Holy Spirit to empower us each day.  Simple but similar to the relationship that God and Jesus enjoyed.

R- Heavenly Father, you are God, Son and Holy Spirit.  Thank you for the role each of you play in our lives.  Help us to honor you, be more like Jesus and invite the Holy Spirit into our lives today.
